Mannsville farmer wins $5,000 to donate for two area groups

BELLEVILLE  The Sackets Harbor Athletic Booster Club and the Belleville Volunteer Fire Department will each receive $2,500 after a Mannsville farmer won money from a national fund.

Harold W. Nohle was able to give the donations after winning the Americas Farmers Grow Communities program, organized by the Monsanto Fund.

Mr. Nohle is one of nine winners of funding in the state.

A release from Monsanto said that Mr. Nohle was able to double his donation total because Jefferson County had been declared a disaster area by the U.S. Department of Agriculture following drought conditions in the area.
